consists of four main structural divisions or lobes. They are: frontal‚ parietal‚ occipital and temporal. All lobes carry particular function and dysfunction of any can bring the person serious troubles.I will describe four lobes of the brain‚ as well as identify how these lobes relate to psychological functions. Frontal Lobes Frontal lobes are responsible for reasoning‚ planning‚ movements‚ emotions‚ parts of speech and problem solving functions. Frontal lobes are the center of the emotional control

patients with Schizophrenia have poor eye tracking or poor eye contact. - Electrical stimulation of some areas may cause visual hallucinations and illusions - Visual agnosia may occur when there is disruption of connection of visual cortex from temporal lobe 3 There is increased blood flow to the occipital cortex in patients with GAD & OCD because of externally directed vigilance ***sometimes we are OC (symmetry‚ cleanliness‚ - - consists of the primary somatosensory (somesthetic)

I love to draw and read so the occipital lobe would not be one that I would want to damage. I am a musician so if I damaged my temporal lobe I would lose my ability to hear very well. The frontal lobe did not seem reasonable for me to damage because I would lose my ability to remember things and plan stuff. Having my parietal lobe damaged in the left hemisphere I would lose the ability to problem solve and have some of my senses as well

the brain’s mass‚ is made up of four sections‚ or lobes. These four sections are: the frontal lobe‚ the temporal lobe‚ the parietal lobe‚ and the occipital lobe. All of these lobes are in charge of their own set of tasks and functions (Jeanty‚ 2009). The frontal lobe is in charge of planning‚ problem solving‚ personality organizing‚ selective attention‚ and a variety of other “higher cognitive functions” (Johnson Jr.‚ 2009). The temporal lobe consists of two sections‚ one on each side of the

it’s larger than any animal. The cerebral cortex is divided into four lobes that also have the specific and different functions to each lobe‚ but they also have to all work together. The four lobes are called frontal‚ parietal‚ temporal and occipital. The first lobe is called the frontal lobe‚ its located behind the forehead. This is the largest of the four‚ but takes the longest mature at the age around 25. The frontal lobe is mostly known for planning movements and also contains a motor cortex

Four Lobes of the Cerebral Cortex The Cerebral Cortex is what separates humans from the rest of the world’s species. Our Cerebral Cortex is larger in size‚ as well as a much greater amount of convolutions than other species. The Cerebral Cortex is divided up in too four major parts‚ Frontal Lobe‚ Parietal Lobe‚ Occipital Lobe‚ and the Temporal Lobe. Frontal Lobe located in front directly behind the forehead‚ it synchronizes motor skills‚ analytical skills‚ cognitive skill emotional expression‚ recall

UNDERSTANDING HOW KEY FUNCTIONS OF THE BRAIN ARE AFFECTED BY DEMENTIA You do not have to become an expert on the brain to be a good dementia health care worker. However‚ having a basic awareness of the brain’s functioning may help you to understand some of the difficulties a person with dementia is experiencing. It can also help to explain some of the behaviours you may find challenging and difficult to comprehend. The level of damage taking place in the brain (‘neurological impairment’)

(spinal brain) 2. What is the advantage of having a cerebrum that is highly convoluted? What term is used to indicate its crooves? Its outward folds? What groove divides the crebrum into two hemispheres? What divides the parietal from the frontal lobe? The parietal from the temporal lobe? Convoluted cerebrum allows more neurons to occupy the limited space ridges are called gyri shallow grooves are called sulci and deeper grooves are called fissures

1. Brainstem- It begins where the spinal cord swells after entering the skull. It regulates all automatic survival roles‚ such as breathing and heartbeats. 2. Thalamus- The thalamus is the uppermost part of the brainstem. It directs information to the sensory cortex and provides feedback to the cerebellum and medulla. 3. Medulla- The foundation of the brainstem. It manages heartbeat and breathing. 4. Reticular formation- The nerve region travelling through the brainstem and thalamus. The network
